Good evening from Belgium!
Welcome to a new edition of the Belgian Amateur Poker Championship! Last season"s Namur event attracted 271 players; this season"s regional event had 349 players.
It will be hard to surpass that number since last time, because it was a regional event, allowed for re-entries.
Play started half an hour ago and around 100 players have chips in front of them. Late registration lasts for 4 levels, so we are expecting more players to enter in the next 2 hours.
For the live updates we are trying something else. We have arranged for Pokerclub.be to handle this year"s live blog... David Vanderheyden is well known in Belgium for his live coverage of the Unibet Open and the bigger Belgian Pokerstars events. You can follow all the action on http://www.pokerclub.be/forum/content.php?566-BAPT-3-Namur-Day-1A-Live-Reporting-Main-Event-(%80100-%8010) (http://www.pokerclub.be/forum/content.php?566-BAPT-3-Namur-Day-1A-Live-Reporting-Main-Event-(%80100-%8010))
Of course we will absolutely keep an eye on the UK players!

We just lost Danny Covyn... don"t know the exact hand but he got rivered in a 60k pot, leaving him with only 2 big blinds... The very next hand he is eliminated.
70 players left, near the end of the 8th level.
We are playing 3 more levels, so it"s going to be a late one tonight. But we have no choice... last time around the Main Event lasted until 4:30am on Day 2, so we want to reduce the field a bit further on Day 1 this time.
-
And Tom is over the 100k mark... Not bad at all for the Team Scotland captain
-
Last break of the night.
53/143
avg 40.471
next level: 600/1200-200
We"ll play 2 more levels tonight.

We just started the final level of the day in the Main Event.
Blinds are at 800/1600-200. 45 players left with an average of 47.666
We are not seeing a lot of bigstacks, so it looks like a lot of players are around the average mark. A lot can still happen in the final level of the day, with possibly some last minute bustouts of players that don"t want to come back with a smaller stack.

16-2 Paulie Davies
He had better do good after his early night last night....
-
We just noticed Gazmend Hoxhaj on Table 19, which means that last year"s top 3 are all in today"s field.
-
16-2 Paulie Davies
He had better do good after his early night last night....
Doing well thanks after doubling up to 34k with top set Queens vs Aces.
Of course it would be nicer if they could spell my last name right.

Last night ended pretty late and our reporter didn"t manage to finish the complete story of last night"s Day 1. Here are the delayed details of "The rise and demise of Tom Clark (still alive though)"
While is was mostly Mark "Minion" Duguid who had some notable appearances in the early stages of the tournament, unfortunatly for Mark it didn"t always go as planned and we had to say goodbye to the coulourfull character before the day was over.
Tom Clark on the other hand was a slow starter, while grinding his way to the middle regions of the chipcounts, all of the sudden the Scottisch Captain popped up on our radar by becoming the tournament chipleader in a 103.600 pot while blinds were still 300/600.
His three of a kind "Three"s" were up against Aces on an all clubs board, with the overpair also having the nut flushdraw. Tom Clarck dodged the combined outs of his opponend to propel himself upwards where he stayed untill the last 6 hands of the tournament.
Where it looked like things were going to turn out allright, with a stack well over tournament average, his first hickup occured when he doubled up Patrick De Cleene. Tom opened AJo when he faced a 3B shove by Patrick. He made the call, but when his opponent"s AKo made a straight by the river, it created a dent in Tom's stack.
Things got really nasty at the very end of Day 1A. When Yves Bormans went all-in UTG for his last 20ish blinds, a player, who whished to remain anonymous (hint: CL), felt frisky and decided to isolate from the Small Blind. Tom looked down to see Aces and all he needed was the time it took for his brain to send a signal to the vocal cortex to announce the call. He covered the Small Blind by a little over 20k, so things were looking good.
With a J-high flop Yves took an unexpected lead in the hand, but it was mainly the 7 & 8 on the board that accompagnied it that got the gathered crowd cheering. The turn was a safe blank, but the brutality became clear when the dealer turned a 4 over on the river, giving the Small Blind a straigth with just a few hands left in Day 1A.
He did manage to double up back to 40k, but the dramatic turn of events made him a shortstack instead of the oligarch he could have been at the start of day 2.
Tom Clark ended the day with 40.900 chips, and is positioned 24th out of a remaining 33 players on Day 1A.

All social media has gone quiet on the situation regarding Mr Davis. Now that could mean
1. He has folded himself to sleep
2. He has folded the rest of his table to sleep
3. He is so chipped up that he has retired to the bar overlooking the river and is done for the day
Hope it"s 3.

Best of luck to the British contingent remaining in the Apat Belgium main event. Paul Davis, Lee Wyatt & Tom Clark
-
Welcome to Day 2 of the Belgian APC Main Event!
3 UK players survived the long grind of Day 1. Tom Clark was very unlucky to only start Day 2 with a 40k stack; while Paulie will need to look for a double up early on. Lee Wyatt will start the day as the UK chipleader!
T09 S3: Paulie Davis - 28.800
T11 S3: Tom Clark - 40.900
T14 S3: Lee Wyatt - 78.800
Good luck to all of them!
-
First hand of the day and Paulie is our first victim.
With an Ace-rag in the big blind he decides to take a stand against an early raiser.
However he gets called by Queens.
Paulie hits an Ace on the flop, but the river is a Queen... At least he busted well in time for the PLO event. But with over 2 hours to go before the start, he still has some time left to drink a few beers...
Cheers!

Tom Clark doubled up to 86k, his JJ hold up against 33 in a PFAI.

45 minutes into the NLH Side Event, we have 73 runners.
Late registration ends in little less than an hour.
At 17:30 we also have a PLO Side Event.
-
We"ve just seen 4 exits at the same time, leaving exactly 44... which means everyone is now in the money!
Unfortuanely Lee Wyatt was one of them, just barely missing out on his 1st APAT cash.
All his chips went into the middle with KK... only to be called by pocket rockets.
The Ace on the flop leaves Lee hoping for a miracle, but the blank turn seals it. Well played Lee and very unlucky!
Tom Clark is in the money as the sole APAT UK survivor.
